据石油新闻伦敦报道，矿业和大宗商品贸易巨头嘉能可2月3日表示，由于受COVID-19大流行的影响，嘉能可暂停了在乍得的油气生产，该公司去年第4季度石油产量同比大幅下降了一半以上。
嘉能可表示，去年第四季度的权益产量总计58.4万桶或6418桶/天，比前年同期减少69%，且低于去年第三季度的74.8万桶。
由于与COVID-19大流行有关的流动性、运输和供应链的中断，嘉能可去年4月份把其位于乍得的Mangara和Badila油田列入“护理和维护”项目。据估计，这些油田此前的石油日产量约为1万至1.4万桶。
嘉能可表示，这两个油田时下仍处于停产状态，原因是“国际流动性中持续存在与疫情大流行相关的挑战”。
去年，在嘉能可在赤道几内亚和喀麦隆钻取的新油井部分抵消了乍得油田停产的影响以后，该公司的石油产量平均为10776桶/天，同比下降29%。
嘉能可受益于2019年第三季度喀麦隆Bolongo油田的启动，该油田一直在扩大产量，并在第四季度提供了23.9万桶石油。

Glencore's oil output slumps 69% in Q4 due to pandemic impact in Chad
Glencore saw its oil production more than halve from year-ago levels during the fourth quarter of 2020, reflecting the suspension of its Chad operations due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the mining and commodity trader giant said Feb. 3.
Entitlement production totaled 584,000 barrels in Q4, or 6,418 b/d, 69% below the year-ago period and down from 748,000 barrels in Q3, Glencore said.
Glencore placed its Mangara and Badila fields in Chad under "care and maintenance" in April due to COVID-19 related disruptions to mobility, transportation and supply chains. The fields had previously been producing around 10,000-14,000 b/d, it estimates.
The fields remain offline, Glencore said, citing "continued pandemic-related challenges in international mobility."
During 2020 overall, Glencore's oil production averaged 10,776 b/d, 29% lower on the year, after new wells drilled in Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon partly offset the suspension of its Chad operations.
The company benefited from the startup of the Bolongo field in Cameroon in Q3 2019, which has been ramping up and provided 239,000 barrels in the fourth quarter.
